Review for Childrens Healthcare Is A Legal Duty Inc, Lexington, KY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have admired the work of CHILD for almost twenty years. No other organization is solely committed to helping children subject to religious-based medical neglect. And CHILD has been remarkably effective in reaching policymakers and achieving change. In 2010 alone, CHILD representatives testified before the Wisconsin legislature, lobbied the United States Congress, and urged prosecutors in New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Washington to prosecute fully parents who permitted their children to die of treatable illnesses. This past spring, CHILD focused its efforts on achieving legislative change in Oregon, and it succeeded: on June 9 Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber signed into law an emergency bill removing Oregon’s religious exemptions pertaining to medical care of sick and injured children. CHILD is the model of a small nonprofit achieving real change.
